Too Soon to Love, also known as High School Honeymoon and Teenage Lovers, is a 1960 American exploitation film directed by Richard Rush and starring Richard Evans, Jennifer West and Jack Nicholson.[2]
The film was considered by some critics as among the first of the American "new wave" of filmmaking.[1]
The film is about the romantic relationship between a woman and a man, barely out of their teens, and another man named Buddy (Nicholson) who tries to steal her away from him.
The film was made for $50,000. It was Francis Ford Coppola's first writing assignment and director Richard Rush said "he had more youth than discipline."[1]
Jack Nicholson was cast off the back of his appearance in The Cry Baby Killer. He would make two more films with Rush.[3]
The film was sold to Universal for $250,000.[1]
